Well, coming from the viewpoint of an old-school hotrodder, too much power is never enough. So where does that leave us?
I am not saying that the clutch is junk, perhaps driving style has something to do with it as well.
Look at options for sure. I am NOT on the South Bend pep squad here, however, I have installed several of their clutches in stock, and mild to heavily upgraded trucks, with no problems at all. And believe me, some of those guys really don't drive all that gently.
Good luck

You posted in the forums "pm me I will hook you up with a great clutch". That looked like you were selling them to the guy that reported your post to me. I explained that to you via PM and told you to avoid making it look like you were selling them and there would not be a problem.
The deal is simply that the phrase "I will hook you up" is often used by people selling products and there was no way for the members or me to know just exactly what you meant by that statement.
I also told you via PM that I did NOT think you were selling them, you just worded it in a manner that was confusing so I removed it. So now you tell me what is wrong with that or are you just interested in a pity party?
You did not have a problem with this a week ago in PM, why are you whining like a school girl now?
No one said anything about your opinion one way or another, I only asked you politely not to make it look like you were selling them so I would not receive any more complaints about it.
I don't know what you mean by this statement? it makes absolutely no sense the way you wrote it.
